OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

forN4M's Community Guidelines and OPSEC.

~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.

~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.

~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.

~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:

• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:

• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.

Some Suggestions:

~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.

~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option

~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by ProudNavyMomInFL on September 7, 2013 at 2:04am: Staying at navy lodge...pir 10/25

Comment by Swansont (ship 13 div 404) on September 6, 2013 at 11:49pm: So where is everyone staying? I am very excited.

Comment by diannep on September 6, 2013 at 10:32pm: I believe some are picked for the 900 divisions and some volunteer. We understand that they like those with high ASVAB scores since they will better be able to balance all of their bootcamp work and their practice time. Lala will have more info on this since her daughter was in a 900 division.

Comment by Idaho_Ma on September 6, 2013 at 10:18pm: Hi Round2,

I just read on the Div 900 Group page that Div 950 will perform not only at their own PIR on 10/25, they will also perform at the PIR's on 10/11 and 10/18. So we can watch those earlier PIR's on live streaming and try to see our SR's marching with state flags. Cool, eh?

I don't know how SR's get picked for 900 divisions. I mailed my daughter a letter a little while ago, and that was one of the questions I asked.

Comment by Round2 on September 6, 2013 at 9:53pm: Thanks so much for the info. I wonder how he got "picked" for this division. I guess it gives me something to ask in my letters that I need to start writing!!!

Comment by diannep on September 6, 2013 at 8:16pm: jeepgirl: I too don't recommend keeping the phone in the bra permanently, but don't think it would be bad just during bootcamp. AND....if they call one day, you can take it out of there once you receive the call because the chance of a call later in the day is pretty slim! :-) I walk with my phone in my pocket a total of about 1.5 hours/day (do it over 3 different walks). I really think it is fine. Men have to have theirs in their pockets all of the time...well, unless they carry a purse!

Round2: Does he sing, play an instrument, have drill team experience? If not, he probably will be one who assists the VIPs, or is a "body snatcher" during the PIRs he serves in (since you have been through this before, you know what that means! :-) ), or is a door holder, etc. They all have some kind of service that they have to do!

Comment by Idaho_Ma on September 6, 2013 at 8:13pm: Round2, I just looked it up. Div 950 carries the state flags at PIR. There's a 900 division group on here but I haven't joined it yet.

Comment by Round2 on September 6, 2013 at 8:04pm: Just got our information letter today. He is in ship 2 division 950. I know the 900 divisions are performing divisions, but have no idea how or what he will do? I guess I just have to wait to get my first real letter

Comment by Swansont (ship 13 div 404) on September 6, 2013 at 7:53pm: I received a call from my son today. Totally unexpected. Made my day. He seems a little homesick but for the most part is hanging in there. How about you guys? He did say he will call me tomorrow also.

Comment by bhbqxe on September 6, 2013 at 7:50pm: Lvmom24, did you get a call this morning, you said below he left a message on the machine? I believe our boys are in the same Division, I'm so excited that you got a call, hopefully we will all get a call tomorrow!! Mine is Ship 03 Div 402
